Categories

Cleanliness
8.6
Generally good but multiple reviews noted minor cleaning issues in common areas (lift, rooftop), a cleaning trolley left in a staircase, and occasional housekeeping noise; some worn furniture made parts feel slightly unkempt.
Service
9.4
Staff frequently described as friendly, attentive and helpful (birthday surprise, attentive ferry/concierge tips), though a few comments reported slow or insufficiently trained staff at breakfast and in the restaurant.
Location
9.8
Outstanding harbour-front location repeatedly praised as ideal for exploring nearby cities and offering beautiful views and easy ferry access to Valletta.
Room Quality
9
Rooms are comfortable with good views and very comfortable beds noted, but isolated reports of a very dark room (105), some worn wooden furniture and occasional artificial room fragrance reduced the experience for some guests.
Amenities
9
Rooftop terrace, pool and atmosphere are highlights; limited gym space noted and one report about diluted toiletries in suites is a negative to address.
Value for Money
9.4
Most guests felt the stay was excellent and worth it, though a few mentioned that some interior design/finishing and closed restaurant days fell short of top five-star expectations.
Food and Beverage
9.2
Breakfast is frequently praised (varied, fresh, table-served), but isolated criticisms include bread quality, slower service at breakfast and the restaurant being closed some days.
Overall Experience
10
Across many glowing reviews guests described an exceptional, beautiful hotel with fantastic views and excellent hospitality; highly recommended by numerous reviewers.

Modern Design hinter Festungsmauern
Pros:

Freundlicher Service, geräumige Zimmer, gut ausgestattetes Bad, Hochwertige Produkte von Rituals
Frühstück am Tisch serviert, kein Buffet,
einmalige Lage des Hauses, interessantes Hotel Design

Cons:

Zimmer 105 war sehr dunkel, kein Tageslicht, Bad dito,
Freundliche, aber langsame und manchmal hilflos wirkende Bedienung beim Frühstück, die Brot Qualität war nicht überzeugend, hätte mir statt "Fabrik-Toast" Maltesisches Brot gewünscht,

Pros:

Die Duplex Suute ist der Wahnsinn. Lage top, Personal freundlich aber muss dringend geschult werden, vorallem im Resraurant.

Cons:

Unwissendes Personal, und dass die Shampoo und Shower Gels in den Suiten mit Wasser verdünnt werden. Absolute Frechheit.

In allem ein sehr schönes hotel. Super personal und tolle lage.
Pros:

Lage und stil und pool aussicht

Cons:

Es gibt holzmöbel die sehr kaputt sind. Oder töpfe. Das ist schade und macht es etwas ungepflegt
